Unions Options

[*Steven*]

So pretty much I think unions are pieces of shit. What with all the screwing companies over, having their members pay dues at the end of each month, making demands to the company that a similar company without a union would not have to meet, etc etc.

With minimum wage increases, unions instantly jumped all over that and demanded the same amount in the form of a raise for their employees.

Can anyone offer anything positive about a union, other than the "protecting employees from the evil bad guy who is going to lock them in a building with poor escape plans so when something catches on fire hundreds of employees die, companies"?

At least with the union I'm in currently, There are several employees who are under 18 who are definately not supposed to be working with alcohol but people under 21 aren't supposed to sell it where I work but because all of the over 21 year olds are working as stand leads, they use 18 year olds. The union is putting up a big stink about it. They also put up a big stink about the newer employees getting more hours than those with senority. Anyways,On a rare occasion, you will find a union that is pretty ok.
